Like a Dream..
I watched my life going by,waking up to a lazy day,
feelings stress oozing by my pores by midday,
I toil through the necessary pain of working,
wishing I was somewhere else,
doing something I loved.
And then there are those moments,
when I stand by the window
in a moment of blissful loneliness,
gazing at the mountain far away,
and experiencing that indescribable feeling of elevation,
of appreciating beauty in a precious moment in time.
Then I remember when I was on the train to Verona,
and I had just left Venice, a wonderful day.
I remember the words I said,
that it would all seem like a dream when I will be back,
that it would be something impossible even to imagine.
I long for those blissful moments in time,
so different are they from the present moment,
so blessed were they.
Thinking of them has transported me to another world,
another place of very different circumstances.
How I wish that I get to live these dreams more often,
permanently being in that wonderful state of mind,
living each day at a time
and enjoying whatever life has to offer.
This reflection made me realise that
there are far more important things in life,
than being shackled to a mundane life,
working to no avail and to no pleasure,
being trapped in a life which some people revel,
and make it their whole world.
What I wish is something so totally different,
those stolen moments,
that train in Venice,
somewhere my soul is at peace.
